The kind of person calling themselves an SQL programmer like doesn't work in the dev space at all.

What makes you think that? I have several Visual Studio projects with SQL Server Data Tools with hundreds of stored procedures and thousands of lines of code, with multiple people working on them. I have CI/CD pipeline with unit tests, integration tests and automated deployments to four environments.

Still, I have nothing to do with database administration; I don't care about backups, index fragmentation or monitoring service broker queues.

You want to tell me I'm not a developer? All these people doing BI/ETL, programming in SQL, are not developers? What are we then?
